India 2024

From October 15th till December 9th I'll continue my studies in India. Along with my teacher Kalamandalam Prabhakaran Ashan I repeat the lines of Kalyāṇasaugandhikam and will present it during the annual festival at Sree Poornathreyeesa Temple at Trpunithura on December 1st at around 2:30pm. After finishing the lines of Kunchan Nambiar I'm going to show at least 10 minutes of my translation into German language. I'm very happy and feel honored to be part of the festival for the very first time. My program will be supported from the German cultural institute Goethe-Zentrum Trivandrum|Kochi - I am thankful for that. This temple is giving Thullal artists since many years a lot of support, on every day during the festival there are 3 different Thullal programmes shown. Kalyāṇasaugandhikam I performed for the first time in Kerala in December 1992.

Besides this my 7th translation of a Thullal story into German is finished and I will have a recording of Harishchandra in a studio in Ernakulam. From 2025 onwards I will perform Harishcandra Caritam in Germany.

Journey to India!

From October 7th till November 14th 2022 I've been again for study and research in Kerala. I was able to repeat a good part of the story of Puḷindῑ Mōkṣam in Parayan Thuḷḷal with my Ashan Kalamandalam Prabhakaran and present it at Kerala Kalamandalam University within the 65th Anniversary Celebrations of the Department of Thuḷḷal on October 29th. Besides this I gave a little demonstration in German language as well.
